Electrically-heated curling-iron.



8, and that thereby the hands of the operator are kept as far away aspossible from the source of electricity and danger of injury to the userthereby reduced to a minimum.

The members 1 and 14 without the electrical heating features will lberecognized as constituting a quite common type of curling iron, whichmay be'readily purchased and utilized inthe construction of electricallyheated curling irons in accordance with my invention.

Haying thus described' my invention and explained the operation thereof,I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

'1. ln an electrically heated curling iron, a

. heating member having a hollow portion;

I heating member having a hollow cy electrical heating means locatedwithin the hollow portion of said meniber; terniinals located at oneextremity ofsaid heating member; and a handle carried by said inember atthe endthereof most remote from said terminals.

2. ln an electrically heated curling iron, a

portion adjacent one of its ends; a handle upon the other end of saidmember; a pair of A terminals at the end of the hollowcylindricalportion oisaid member; and electrical heating means located. within theliollow'portion of said member and with which said terminale areconnected.

3'. ln an electrically heated curlin iron, a heating member having ahollow cy indrical portion adjacent one of its ends; a resistancematerial within said. hollow portion and in contact withthe wallsthereof; conducting wire embedded in said resistance material; a

terminal connected with said wir a second terminal connected with saidheating member, said terminals being located adjacent each other and atone end of said heating l. member; and a handle located at the other endof said heating member.

4. An electrically heated curling iron coinndrical hollowV cylindricalprising a heating 'member having a hollofw portion adjacent one end anda handle at its' other end; a second membrrhaving a. handle disiosedadjacent said i'irst mentioned handle an t e he other end thereofadapted to en age y the hollowportion of said heating mem er;

a pivot intermediate the 'ends of said niembers whereby they areconnected together;

electrical heating means 'located within the hollow'portion of saidheating member; and terminals Vat the. end ci said .hollow portion mostremote from said handles.'

5. An electrically heated curling iron com.-

prising co erating members between which the hair to e curled may begrasped; a pivot pin whereby said members are connected together;"adjacently disposed handles, for operating said members;4 electricalheatin means carried by one of said members; an terminals connected withsaid heating means -at the portion thereof which is most remote 4fromsaid handles. f

6. Anelectricallyheatcd curling iron coinprising cooperating membersbetween whichl the hair to be curled may be rasped; one of said membershaving a hol ow cylindrical portion adjacent one of its" ends; handlesfor operating said members located upon the ends of said members moetremote from said hollow portion; a pivotal connection'located betweensaid hollow nortion and said handles v BRIGHAM Slll'illilili. ln thepresence ofy BIsMAnoir SNrDm-i; ARTHUR F.
